I saw a video recently where a Steam Deck was repurposed as a robotics controller and monitor unit for prototypes. Having an off-the-shelf highly customizations controller for $350 is a steal for this industry, but they’re not using it for games.

Anyone here experiment with Funkwhale? Wondering if it’s a practical choice to make a personal library available in a personal cloud.
You can power the device off by holding power for 12. (I always do 30s when hard booting any device, just to be sure)
You can get into recovery mode by powering on holding volume up while pressing the power button. You’re welcome to look around, but I don’t think you’ll be able to fix it from here alone, but at least this way you’ll know the hardware is functioning fine.
Others might have a few things to try next, but if all else fails, these instructions could help install a fresh copy of SteamOS: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3
While it’s unfortunate that the verification process isn’t iron-clad, it still reflects a good goal and substantial progress toward it. The fact is, the verification program serves more as a fancy inventory of how their software catalog runs on Proton/Linux and Valve is probably more worried about games people play that are no longer actively developed than it is on fixing every game for every developer.
Personally, I suspect that 3-5 years from now, once Valve has done a complete once-over of their complete library, they’ll come back around with a ‘premium’ version of verified that’s more geared toward requirements for current and new games, one which is more focused on working with active developers.
I’ve got a Raspberry Pi running Portainer on DietPi OS hosting a Discord bot, ACME certificate manager, reverse proxy; a second DietPi pi hosting Sonarr and Radarr and an automatic ripping machine; a pi NAS ruining open media vault; and my Linux gaming system also has Portainer running Jellyfin.
(currently scrolling from the throne) Fixed that for you
